It’s been far too long since I last uploaded a new music podcast but here at last is my long-awaited spring 08 catch-up mix. If you are new here though, you should know that a quarterly music dump of indie and discovered music is an old tradition on thomaspurves.com
Now, of these tracks, many probably have or have heard a lot of them by now, something to do with indie going more mainstream or more mainstream going indie. But for those who asking for music tips, I hope there’s a few surprises in here for you.
I really like this mix though it’s a good combination of bands I’ve been listening to the last few (ok several) months. It’s a little more upbeat and electro too than the last few mixes which were getting a little bit sleepy in parts.
This is a preview, still working on the mixed together version to actually slip into the postcast feed. But not to wait any longer, you can get it as one big download.

Right now the set is right here as one big zip file (100MB so have patience). There’s a playlist file in there and the tunes are numbered in the most optimal sequence.
enjoy!
Nice… some real solid tracks in that list. I will definitely check this out.
I saw Los Campesinos at Zaphod’s in Ottawa on some random weekday that I was there on business. They are fantastic live and I highly recommend seeing them.

Nice — I hadn’t heard of all of these artists before. Great finds. I need to find more of their stuff.

Hey Tom. I always dig your mixes. I’m so deep into electro and dance punk that I’m glad I have a friend who can expose me to some pure indie tunes. I’m glad you’re showing Cut Copy some love. That was a killer show. And I too am digging Chromatics and Glass Candy. Cheers.
excellent taste in music! i’ve been listening to bon iver non-stop for the last lil while.
